Top 5 Tor Websites
Tor is an invaluable tool for online privacy, providing users with access to special “.onion” websites which exist exclusively within its network – these may include research databases, niche communities and privacy-focused communication platforms.
However, the dark web can also serve as a hub for child pornography, offensive views and underground marketplaces for drugs and weapons.
The Tor Project
Tor’s anonymity network uses volunteer relays to protect its users’ identities and locations from prying eyes, offering valuable protections against identity theft while maintaining freedom of expression and expression rights. It provides users with privacy as well as freedom from reprisal by law.
Tor software incorporates the Tor browser, which routes web traffic through multiple intermediary nodes by encrypting it at each hop and only knowing the addresses of previous and subsequent nodes in its chain for maximum anonymity. Once at an exit node, your web traffic will eventually reach its final destination – it may appear as if you’re visiting websites directly!
Tor is an organization dedicated to human rights advocacy, offering tech solutions for oppression and surveillance around the globe. From supporting public health activism in Africa to corporate accountability in the US, Tor gives voice to activists and whistleblowers in pursuit of a freer world.
The Dark Web
The Dark Web is an area of the Internet which uses Tor to protect user anonymity. Access is granted using special software like Tor Browser which uses encrypted servers to route all your information through. This makes it virtually impossible for outsiders to track your activity or locate you.
Even though the Dark Web poses serious threats, it can provide invaluable protection and security tools for those searching for privacy protection and security. You’ll be able to find privacy tools such as private email services and instructions for installing an anonymous operating system on your computer.
However, the Dark Web can also be a hotbed of illegal activities including ransomware-as-a-service vendors offering off-the-shelf malware kits for sale. Although you could search the Dark Web to identify leaked credentials or data leakage incidents, a smarter approach would be to utilize threat exposure management solutions like NordStellar to detect any sensitive information that might exist on the web and prevent its exposure in the first place.
The Imperial Library
The Imperial Library is a fan-run website dedicated to The Elder Scrolls series that houses all of its books. Additionally, there are analyses of its games and lore available here. Established as Xanathar’s Library back in 1998 and later changing to The Imperial Library in 2004, this fan-run resource boasts articles summarizing various lore topics as a reliable source by The Elder Scrolls Wiki.
The library is an invaluable resource for both students and researchers, offering numerous online resources such as Encyclopdia Britannica, Gale and ProQuest research databases as well as its extensive eBook library, available in multiple languages with user-friendly functionality.
The library is open to anyone with an internet browser that runs Tor, including research support services and study spaces. Membership for full alumni membership is simple and free to set up.
ZeroBin
Zerobin provides you with an open source alternative to Pastebin that lets you host your own pastebin service. Created by Sebastien Sauvage, Zerobin features encryption on the client side so the server never knows what content has been posted; user authentication features; syntax highlighting; and more!
When you paste text, a random 256-bit key is generated within your browser and used to compress and encrypt data using AES before being sent off to be stored on our server. The final URL contains both its identifier as well as decryption keys for easy identification of content.
ZeroBin is hard to censor due to its encryption. However, server administrators can reveal who accessed content through access logs – raising questions about whether and to what extent onion/mix networks like Zerobin should be considered legally protected. At any rate, Zerobin serves as an important platform for discussing critical issues regarding internet freedom.
